What is a good rank to be at?

Hey I was wondering what an average rank would be for the hearthstone community. I have seen the chart that states most people to be below rank 15 but don't find it reliable due to dead account and one-time players. I have began to play a lot a competitive around 2 seasons ago and have managed to reach rank 4 so far in this season. Am mostly just wondering if I am a good player, or a guy who has too much time on my hands. Thanks for your responses.

Rank is more about the amount of time you spend rather than your skill, so dont measure skill too much by rank.

I would say people who finish from rank 25 - 15 are people who are learning or have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Hearthstone, but don't fully understand gimmicks, tech choices, meta, deckbuilding, playing around cards, order, win conditions, ect.

From rank 15 to rank 5 are people who have the fundamentals down and understand most of the Hearthstone Concepts I mentioned earlier, typically these players are their because they either don't fully understand a couple of Key Concepts or they are not using Optimized Decks.

From rank 5 to Legend are people who have Mastered most of, if not all of the key concepts, use optimal lists, play around cards, play in optimal order, understand how their win condition varies depending on their opponent, and put in the time.

Rank is the amount of time you have to play conditioned by the speed of the deck you are playing. In that sense Rank is somewhat meaningless unless you are in Legend or if you are competing for a Ranked position.

For instance I only play Ranked to record videos. I get to rank 15 without even trying, just by playing my home-brew decks to record videos. I have climbed to 10 in a weekend with a fast deck. And that's my point. The rank I am at or the one I achieve in the end of the season says nothing about my deck building, deck piloting and meta knowledge. Rank "only" says how many more wins and streaks I had than losses.

I believe that text is not up to date, however it is a good starting point. Ranked floors appeared after it so I expect a larger part of the population accumulating at those floors. It still gives you a good perspective since most people think that rank 15 is rubbish when it's excellent for a casual player.

For a highly engaged player, rank 10 is probably a good mark, even with slower decks.

For a highly engaged, highly competitive player, rank 5 is likely a very good mark especially if you don't have a lot of time to play.

For a highly engaged, highly competitive player with a time in his hands... it has to be Legend.

This is quite true. The only problem is 50% of the people here claim to be legend, which according to Blizzard would be wildly unlikely? Who to believe: random people or Blizzard? I read someone post that they think legend players make up 10% of the community. Lol.

OP. Getting to rank 15 is fine. Top 17% of players is fine. From there you can play fun decks which is what Hesrtbstone is all about imo. You can get to 10 with time as well. As numerous people have stated, time is what you need to get to 5 and above.

Probably half of the people here claimed that they hit legend because they are engaged enough to go to forums, discuss stuff, etc. The vast majority of people that I know personally that play Hearthstone are not that engaged. They play the game on their phones at lunch break and that's it. Some of them actually do quite well for someone that is purely casual. My guess is that the people in Hearthpwn are a lot more engaged with the game, therefore I wouldn't be surprised if a bigger percentage of the population actually here actually hit legend at least once when compared to the whole population.

Keep in mind that a lot of people play Hearthstone as a casual mobile game... they are not coming here. They don't even know Hearthpwn exists.

15 is actually a good spot for the community. The folks here represent less than 0.01% of the total population. Most people never go to forums or hearthpwn or any other site and just play. As such they just stick to those lower ranks.

In any case, the point isn't to match the community tbut to match where you want to be according to your play.

Rank 15 is generally the spot for very casual play. If you consider keeping up with quests as a 'big deal' then rank 15 is a good goal to make. It's also, imo, the best place to find the most off-meta decks if that's your thing.

Rank 5 is casually competitive. It's the best spot for growth thanks to the rewards and rpoof that you aren't..well.. really casual. It's the top of the casual ladder as I see it personally.

Past that is where we get into the compettiive phase. If you want to know if you really are 'good enough' to be competitive at all then I'd say rank 3 is your goal. You can safely say "I could be competitive if I had the time to keep playing enough" since a lot of getting to legend from there is putting enough games in. Rank legend, of course, are folks who have the ability AND the time.

After that, well you're a legend player. You aren't a casual player. You can be content with that if you like. Real Competitive...well, Let's just say you STARTED running the race. The Real competitive folks are pushing for the higher ranks in legend, top 200 and so, and/or are looking into tournaments. Anything below that really is the casual zone, so if you want to know what the actual Competitive scene feels like then this is the entry point.

That's...basically it. You shouldn't feel forced to "GO ALL THE WAY". The point is to know what kind of player you really honestly want to be and find the rank you should be at accordingly: Casual, casualCompetitive, starting competitive, or truly competitive.
